Break it down to ethnicity and you might be in the Demo's wheelhouse...
Effort by government and or charitable organizations does not change the %
Lifting yourself out of the slavery of poverty is only made through a personal effort to improve your surroundings.
That requires education, training and in some cases literally relocating...
Having a mind set of bringing it to me.... will never work...
You have to have a mind set of go and get it...
50 years of welfare.
109 million on welfare , 56 million on Social Security or retired, 67 Million under 18, 18 Million unemployed of 320 Million. Now some of those numbers might drift between lines. However your looking at around 40-50% of the population.
Doesn't leave a lot of people paying the bills and those make over 50k per year carry 93.3% of the tax burden and those making 32-65k per year (our middle class), most are living paycheck to paycheck.
Now, If your are making 32-65k per year with no kids and little or no debt...you might be living the American Dream....
Other wise you have to be making above 120k per year to be a part of the American Dream.
120K per year...you might be a free slave
